Hey Guys,

I have another Christmas card to share with you today. I was just dying to use this Snowy short stacks stamp set that I showed in a recent haul. I stamped and colored(prismacolor pencils) three little elf faces to tuck behind the little presents I made just using scraps of BG Jovial paper pad. (i know it's old but it's the only semi-traditional Christmas paper I have lol) I tied some bakers twine to a few of them and added some half pearls also. You can watch the whole process here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=35Tk4yEsELE Thanks for stoppin by!=)

Be Unique

Hey guys,

Today's card is one I colored up awhile ago and never got around to sharing. I used a digi stamp from www.etsy.com/shop/SaturatedCanaryDigis?ref=si_shop I am totally in love with all of these images! They are so cute and playful and so much fun to color! I put a few glittery strands in her hair but of course they don't show up in the picture :( I used my BG Out Of Print papers..I really wasn't too fond of them at first but Ive used them quite a bit lol. I layered several of them on top of eachother because I couldnt decide on just a few hehe. I used some BG bloomers and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn "clear to see" Thanks for stoppin by..Im hoping to get some more cards made today so keep an eye out! Toodles

Christmas Elf

Hi All,

It has taken me til today to finally get everything back to normal from our vacation..for some reason I was super tired after it all..even though we pretty much just hung out most of the time. It was a very nice relaxing vacay..Idaho was beautiful..I seen more deer in one day than I have in my entire life..and my parents have a cute little fox that hangs around their house (most likely because their neighbors have sheep and he wants some lamb chops lol) But now that we're back Im ready to start crankin out the Christmas cards..so here's the first official one of the year.

For this card I used the Kraftin Kimmie "toymaker elf" stamp I LOVE him!=) I also used the basic grey Jovial paper pad and my new Christmas bulbs die from CC Designs..my new fave..I can see myself using this on pretty much everything..but I will try to resist a little. You can see how I put it all together here:

Baby It's Cold Outside

Hey all,

Today I wanted to share a card that I made for the Farm Fresh challenge over at http://www.thegreetingfarm.com/ This is the first time Ive participated in this challenge..it was alot of fun..and Lord knows Ive got tons of TGF stamps to choose from lol.=) So the prompt this time was Embossing-I used my cuttlebug snowflakes folder for the entire background of the card and then used my Beanie Anya stamp, I thought she was fitting for how the weather has been lately..she looks so cozy and warm! I colored her up with my prisma pencils as usual and a sentiment from American Crafts. Thanks for checkin in and keep warm!=)

Paper Smooches Sparks

Hidy Ho Neighbors!

Im back today with a card that I made for the PS Sparks Challenge..I always have a lot of fun with the inspiration for these challenges and this time was no different..as soon as I saw it I knew I had to use my new Hero Arts tree trunks stamp..Im totally in love with this stamp at the moment!! So I stamped the front-facing scooter from the PS "spiffy Scooters" set,masked it off and then stamped my trees a couple of times with Walnut Stain distress ink..then I stamped the scooter again on a seperate piece of cardstock and colored it up with my prisma colored pencils then popped it up. Once again I went pretty literal and didnt stray too far from the inspiration photo..but its so cute I think it works=) I rounded the top corners of the image and card with my 1/4 inch corner chomper,added some brown twine for texture and slapped it on a white card base to keep things crisp and clean looking..its very retro, I love it! The color of orange and the woodgrain go perfectly together. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to go check out http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/ and join the fun! Have a great day!

Hey guys,

Another quickie card share today. I just got this Hero Arts Tree Trunks stamp and was dying to pair it up with my Gorjuss Little Foxes stamp..I love how it turned out! It really finishes the whole scene and adds another dimension to the card=) I kept the layout really simple so the image could really shine..I used some of the Basic Grey Pyrus papers,sewed around the edges and that was pretty much it. Thanks for stoppin by!
